Excerpt from Pat: The Lighthouse BoyFor Pat had been very ill. He had been a frail little fellow all his short life, and had never been able to run about and shout and play as the other children did who lived in his court. He had spent most Of his time indoors with his mother, growing more and more wan and white with each succeeding summer as it came and went. Although the sea lay only a mile away from his home, he had scarcely ever walked as far as its margin, for there was nothing to attract him when he did so. It was not beautiful open sea such as what he was now looking upon, but a piece Of ugly tidal water, with quays and wharfs lining the brink, and evil smells everywhere.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
